Introducing the #1 Rice Cooker of 2015 (and Our Top 5 Reviews of Other Brands) …

Hi there, and welcome to our review of the top five electronic rice cookers, steamers and warmers of 2015.

My name’s Jade and I’ll be guiding you through the awesome reviews we have for you…

We’ve thoroughly researched, used, tested and polled consumers on the most important features, most reliable brands, and best tasting rice results they’ve achieved (with both white and brown rice), with the easiest to use products — the results are in, and we’re happy to share them with you:

The Zojirushi NS-ZCC10 with Neuro Fuzzy Logic technology, is by far the best cooker and warmer on the market right now for the price.

While it’s not a cheap, little dinky cooker you’d find at Walmart, if rice is an important part of your diet, you’ll be cooking this staple food in no time, with ease.

The menu includes different modes for types of cooking (brown, sushi, mixed, porridge, steam), as well as an automatic keep-warm, extended keep-warm, and reheat cycle.

With the inner detachable lid, cleanup is a snap. The stay-cool side handles allow for quick and easy access to your rice, even right after cooking has finished.

The top reviews suggest “it is very easy to use and clean”, “several months later, no problems, use this almost daily and STILL love this rice cooker”, and “it plays a cute little song when it’s done cooking rice”.

Based on all of the reviews, its ease of use, unique “set and forget” technology, how simple each cleanup is, and the results we’ve achieved with it, it gets our highest rating by far, and is well worth the investment. You’ll love the yummy rice it makes.

Deciding on the Best Rice Cooker for You

This is by far the most common question we get: how do I choose the right rice cooker for me? Our general answer is to remember that you’re investing in an easy-to-use product that will last you years of cooking great, delicious rice, so make sure to keep that in mind when you’re making your purchase.

Another factor is how often you’ll be using it. Many families have rice most days of the week, since it makes for a yummy meal that you can do a lot with in recipes. Pair it with any type of protein and vegetables, and you have a full meal ready to go in no time.

Spend Enough to Make it Worth It

So, first things first, spend enough to make the purchase worth it. We recommend most products in the $100-$300 range, depending on the size of your household, how much rice you’ll be making, and the features you’re looking for.

This is because it’s important to invest the amount of money that will get you a high quality, reliable cooker. Just like with any other product, you want to be getting the right features and durability, so it lasts and keeps working.

Getting the Right Size for You

As far as size goes, keep in mind how you’ll be using your new cooker on average. At the very least, you won’t want to buy one that’s too small, or else you’ll be using it multiple times whenever you have to cook more rice. This is another great reason to invest in a higher-end, larger cooker, since you don’t have to feel obligated to fill the entire cooker up with rice.

Computerized Technology (for Ease of Use)

Next comes ease of us; any cooking and warming product that uses computerized technology is always going to give you the best results, which means delicious rice and happy tummys. So opting for this feature is vital when buying a new cooker (nearly all reviews we do are on these types of cookers).

Manufacturers have different names for this type of technology. One of the more popular ones is called Neuro Fuzzy technology, which basically means the cooker adapts to different kinds of rice and amounts of rice automatically. This helps produce a delicious, wholesome amount of rice each time you use your new product.

What Type of Rice Will You Be Cooking?

Another variable to keep in mind is the type of rice you’re cooking. Some of the lower end products are hard to use when varying for temperature and cooking time. Spanish rice and brown rice both cook slightly differently, which can make for interesting cooking challenges. However, the best brands have individual settings for each type of rice, making the cooking super easy.

Nearly all of the higher-end models by our top recommended brand, Zojirushi, has a setting for individual types of rice and cooking styles. These usually include brown, Spanish, and mixed rice, sometimes even a sushi rice mode, too.

Get a Warmer, Steamer and Cooker

There’s also one more thing to keep in mind: not all cookers are rice warmers as well. This is why most of the best rice cookers we recommend are steamers, cookers, and warmers, so when you’re enjoying your meal, your rice isn’t sitting out getting cold and potentially spoiling (if it sits out too long).

Thankfully, if you buy within the mid to high level quality range, you’ll almost always be getting a product that goes into automatic warming, and even reheating mode. These are great for big family dinners, or even conserving left over rice and reheating it.

How Often Will You Be Using Your Steamer?

Another important question to ask yourself is: how often will you be using this product. Something you use everyday will go a much farther way. This should give you confidence in investing in a more expensive, quality product.

If you’ll be using it most everyday, or at least a few times a week, your new steamer will pay for itself many times over, as you cook delicious rice with it, enjoy it, serve it to your family, etc.

A high quality product will yield much better cooking results. You’ll be happy with the rice each and every time. Technology has gotten so good these days that there won’t be any burning, or wasted rice. With the right unit, it’s simple to make it perfectly every time.

Picking Up Your New Rice Cooker Right Now

Rice is a staple food in over half the population’s diet. Thankfully, companies now offer the option for “set and forget” rice without the hassle. Just yummy rice without too much thinking. It becomes so much simpler this way.

We hope you’ve enjoyed our reviews and will be making delicious white and brown rice here soon for your meals.

Go ahead and make your purchase today. Now is the right time to invest in the best cooker that will be helping to feed you and your family for years to come. You deserve to make the purchase today.
